A new child car seat law, Maryland Senate Bill 789, passed at the end of the Maryland legislative session last night at 9:10 p.m. Children in Maryland will now be required to remain in car seats until their 8th birthday unless they are over 65 lbs or over 4 feet, 9 inches tall.
This is a good development for child safety in Maryland. We are now a long way from bouncing up and down in the back of our parents station wagon.
